Yes I do!
I partitioned my hard disk with windows98 fdisk to create a windows partition of 5 Gb. Everythig was fine with the windows partition, it staryed up as normal into windows98.
I then inserted the Corel Linux disk and restarted my computer. I was then confronted with various screans then got to the main menu. I wanted Linux to take over ther rest of the free space on my Disk (about 1.5 Gb) so I chose that option. I did not creat a Linux partition as the option on the menu said take up the rest of the free space on the disk. When I clicked this option and clicked OK. I came to another screan which said somthing like you want Linux to take up x amount of free disk space, the x amount was about 1.5Gb, so everthing looked ok. So I clicked instal.
It started to in stall Linux on to my computer but the computer restarted. Linux had not finished being installed, it had done about 1%.
After this had happend I could no longer get into the Linux menu screan on the CD rom. So I took out the disk and restarted my computer and the message 'Invalid Partition Table' came up on screan and then stoped. So I used Windows98 startup disk to look at the partition table using fdisk, but an error came up 'Error Reading Disk' and could go no further into fdisk.
So at the dos prompt I typed in 'fdisk /status' and this showed me the status of my partition table.
It said that I had a 6.5 Gb partition, a 5 Gb partition (Windows c:), and an 18.9 Gb partition on my Hard Disk. My Heard disk is only 6.5 Gb big.
So I was hopeing that you may know how to correct this problem or know sombody that does. If not thank you for offering to help.
